Spring has sprung, the river is rising, and when Luann Dupree, the head of River Bendโs Historical Society, vanishes into the night, everyone in town is convinced sheโs run off with her Internet Romeo. But her lifelong friend, Sarah Biddle, is convinced Luann is the victim of foul play. No one believes herโnot even her husband, the local sheriff, so she turns to Helen Evans for help.
As River Bendโs resident puzzle-solver, Helenโs tackled many a local mystery before. So she agrees to help Sarah, even though sheโs not so sure herself that Luann is really in trouble. But as the townโs flood waters slowly recede, dead fish and muck arenโt the only things Helen finds. She begins to uncover town secrets, false identitiesโฆand the very real chance that Luann might not be discovered aliveโฆ
